Its a 1986 998cc and I got it for 1700

I'm delighted with it

I'm thinking about buying this and swopping over the engine, exhaust, suspension, and wheels. Would the engine be a hard swop?

For the emmisions? I thought they don't test emissions on pre 93 cars

There's nothing wrong with a mildly modified 998. Get to know your car before you attempt major
surgery.

Post by **purplehaze** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 3:52 pm

Pre 92 do not get tested for emissions as the law only came in then!!!

Number for Bert is (085) 844 5677

No emission test on a pre 92 I wish ?

My 86 failed and I had to change the cam to get it to pass the test

They're not supposed to, I had a 91 starlet gt in and they never tested the emissions

Edit, they only test low idle afaik

Post by **purplehaze** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 2:11 am

Nope they don't do it and if it fails argue with them, pre 92 do not get tested for emissions dudes and dudettes

iv had many a crap car haha

Well done lad,

Lovely little car, well to wear. I had another car in mind but not to worry, hillbilly run is comin up soon, could be the first run

Post by **mully31** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 12:30 am

pre 92 they just test hc and its a stupid high level if you cant get your car to pass it your car is majorly over fueling

Post by **BERT** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 9:49 am
